Sepia Saturday- Saluting a US Navy Man

Sepia Saturday
 

Honoring one of our armed forces men in our own family.
George Leonard Edelen, Jr.
Dorothy M. Mattingly   


The gentleman is my mother's youngest brother.
He served in the U.S. Navy in Rio de Janeirio.
I wish I had some of the postcards he sent home to his family.
I imagine they are long gone. 

He had just returned from the service in 1945, met this beautiful lady named Dorothy and they were married in 1952.
I was about 15 and adored them both.
It was raining and you can see my sister Betty in the background on the left side and I am right behind her.

 They are both in bad health now and live away from us with they son in another state.
Good bless America.
